I've been looking forward to a new Jane Harper. Now it's here and so far it's living up to expectations.

Oh Wow. I thought A Man Called Ove was good. I liked Britt Marie Was Here, but this one? How can you tell a story that is so tragic while making the reader laugh.

So far, there is plenty of business and political skullduggery. Sadly, fiction or not it is all too believable.

3rd of the Jonas Merrick Novels this one is certainly different to the first.

Think Jo Nesbo and you think Harry Hole detective novels. Well perhaps not, but I did. With this book you get something very differen but so far enjoyable. I suppose you'd call the main character an anti hero, a man haunted by what he has done and what he failed to do.

I had to dive up. Halfway through and I still don't find the main character believable. At one point I started to believe that this was a book about someone going quietly round the bend. in the end I couldn't find the motivation to continue,

I was sucked in by the premise, but so far the main character seems barely credible.

The Beginning is, in parts, amusing and in parts, touching. It describes Elizabeth emerging from her grief.

This book is overly long and I've faound myself trying to identify the parts that would be left out when it goes to the small screen. After six hundred pages I;m getting a little tired of strike and Robin dancing around one another as they try to conceal their fellings for each other.

Almost a hundred pages in with 800 to go, This is a big bookbut as usual the author sucks you in. It's as much about the ralationship between strike and Robin as it is about the plot, but that's fine because they are intertwined. so here I am, just 10% in and I;m hooked.
